Same here. Using Bridge, I know where the photos are. Lightroom's "catalog" didn't want to use the storage organization scheme I'd already come up with, while Bridge was fine with doing it my way. In a pinch, I can find the photo I want without actually having to start PHotoshop or Bridge. Ir

Dave, For weddings I use Portra 160NC or 400NC. The 400 will sometimes give you just a little more ambient room light, which looks better than the person standing in the dark type of shot. At weddings you are really looking for flesh tones and low contrast due to dark/black tuxes and white weddi

Mat, It has been a long time since I used the SuperProgram, but I believe the answer is yes. Treat it just as if you were metering without the flash. You are pointing out the real downfall of TTL flash - that is, it has the same metering problems as a program mode, namely, it doesn't know what i

A somewhat stupid side question to all of this...

I ask, because the times I tend to use flash usual

David, It seems you are confused about the TTL. I'm not sure what you mean by "True". Basically TTL means that the camera body meters the film plane for correct exposure and turns the flash off when there is enough. The big advantage is that you can choose any f-stop you want within the power r
